About this role
Tebra is the only all-in-one EHR+ platform built exclusively for independent healthcare practices. In this role, you will design and build backend services while supporting frontend development as needed, ensuring the delivery of secure and performant REST APIs.
Responsibilities:
- Own and evolve platform APIs and services, ensuring low-latency, resilient endpoints for client applications
- Design and implement Spring Boot microservices using modern patterns (contract-first APIs, layered architecture, DTO mappers, caching)
- Integrate with platform services (appointments, patients, messaging, authentication) via service/domain contracts and RESTful clients
- Improve reliability and performance with caching (e.g., Ehcache, Redis, etc.), connection management, and efficient data access
- Implement observability (structured logging, metrics, tracing) and automate build/deploy pipelines
- Write robust tests across layers (unit, component, contract, integration) using JUnit/TestNG and assist with frontend testing where applicable
- Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and document patterns to drive consistency across the stack
- Contribute to frontend interface development using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript frameworks (Angular/React) to support team velocity and feature integration
Requirements:
- 5+ years of software development experience building Java services in production
- Expertise with Spring Boot and REST API design; comfortable with contract-first development and layered service architectures
- Ability to adapt and contribute to modern frontend frameworks (such as Angular or React) when business needs dictate
- Experience building and consuming service/domain contracts and integrating external/partner APIs
- Proficient with data modeling and access patterns; capable of optimizing queries, caching, and serialization for high-performance applications
- Hands-on with mapper/generation tools (MapStruct/Lombok), dependency management (Maven), and build plugins for quality
- Proficient in automated testing: unit, integration, component, contract, and performance testing
- Solid understanding of messaging and async patterns (e.g., ActiveMQ/Kafka), feature flags, and configuration management
- Strong focus on observability, performance profiling, and resilience (timeouts, retries, circuit breakers, idempotency)
- Demonstrated ability to leverage AI-assisted tools (e.g., Codex, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to accelerate coding, debugging, and boilerplate generation
- Practical experience with GenAI/LLM integration in backend systems
- Competence in frontend web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to explain design tradeoffs to technical and non-technical partners
